Here is the list I think Nancy was thinking about:

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both were shot in the head.

Lincoln's secretary, Kennedy, warned him not to go to the theatre.
Kennedy's secretary, Lincoln, warned him not to go to Dallas.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.

Both were succeeded by Southerners.

Both successors were named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.

Both names are comprised of fifteen letters

Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

See the following for an examination of this list.

Yes, that is the list I was thinking of.
Thank you for showing this.

Never seen or read the analysis of it. However still very, interesting.
I have heard it stated that so often history does repeat itself.
I would have to ask, 'why would history repeat itself?'

Still not to sure anyone could ever answer that question.
Just coincidences. Just coincidences? Perhaps.

Also sorry that you had to move this post.
I will be more thoughtful in the future, or at least make every attempt
to be.

Maybe the answer does lay in God's hands only to the questions as to why.

They left out some things in those listings of words.
Booth may not have done this.
Oswald may not have done this.

Both had sort of linching mobs on them.

Both Kennedy and Lincoln are of a conspiracy nature behind it all,
as well. Not sure Lincoln is as much as what shows to be of Kennedy.

Is it a pattern that they went by like a stenciled outline on how to cover ones tracks while setting this up?
